Zoho Workplace
Zoho recently announced updates to Zoho Workplace, a
software platform that brings together collaboration, productivity and
communications tools and integrates them into other business processes.
Created around a business mail and
cloud office suite, Zoho Workplace comprises nine integrated applications,
built on a common data model and unified through search and AI across a single
dashboard, allowing customers to solve business problems quickly and
collaboratively.
The updates to Workplace include:
- Mail (Business Mail) – Users can now make audio or video calls within the app, edit document attachments in Zoho Writer, meet online with contacts and access all email accounts from Zoho Mail.
- Cliq (Messaging) – Users can check in or check out and set custom statuses, collaborate with external stakeholders, connect with teams via group audio or video calls and view message-read statuses.

- Connect (Social Intranet) – Connect integrates with human resource information systems, including Zoho People.
- Writer (Word Processing) – Users can convert documents to fillable forms, restrict comment visibility, gather document engagement insights, and enable an AI-based writing assistant.
- Show (Collaborative Presenting) – Show is integrated with Atlassian, Unsplash, and Humaans, and features an organisation-wide slide library and data linking, allowing users to connect live data to slides.
- Sheet (Spreadsheet) – Users have access to the latest functions for lookup and match and can view historic data with race charts, create drop-downs with predefined values and link cell ranges.
